This is a general and open call for contributions to the journal Africana Linguistica, number 14 (2008), edited by the Linguistics department of the Royal Museum for Central Africa (Tervuren, Belgium).

Africana Linguistica is dedicated to the study of African languages with special focus on Bantu. The journal welcomes original descriptive, historical and typological papers in phonetics/phonology, morphology, syntax, lexicology and semantics. Contributions on poorly documented and described languages or lesser known language areas as well as those trying to integrate linguistics into interdisciplinary approaches of the African past are highly appreciated. Fellow researchers from Africa are especially encouraged to contribute.

Africana Linguistica is a peer-reviewed and internationally oriented journal. All contributions are submitted to at least two anonymous peer-reviewers. The editorial team is reinforced by a national committee of associate editors, affiliated to several Belgian universities, and an international editorial board of renowned experts in African linguistics.

Africana Linguistica is published once a year and contains 100 to 150 pages per volume.

Africana Linguistica accepts papers in English and French. Authors are requested to strictly follow the guidelines specified in the journal's stylesheet.

Contributions should be submitted before February 1st to be considered for publication in the same year, both electronically in rtf-format and preferably also in pdf-format to: africana.linguisticaafricamuseum.be and in hard copy to: Africana Linguistica, RMCA, Leuvensesteenweg 13, 3080 Tervuren, Belgium.
